Long Pupa Poems

"The Silkworm’s Birthday"





Mulberry leaves flutter in the breeze
Kookaburra brave Joker bluffs a sky blue breast 
Drops one feather for a quill, a song hidden in a laugh, no bitter pill
magic never rests, like a crystal...

I was awakening from my dreams, in search of an orangey sun,
As dreamers had always done, since warm vibrancy of day one.

I was emerging from fine silken coverings, in the usual way,
For wild places beckoned...

Tender Start, Beautiful End
Poetic Forms: Concrete

First betold,
for here are the I's,
it's not that we're parentless,
merely, multi-births scared dad
from the onset, then afterward,
mom just left us to...

Upmteenth (re:) inspection revisited...

I experience dread-nought
until April 19th, 2022 becomes yesterday
when troubles with management
here at Highland Manor
hoop fully temporarily alleviated.

Yours truly and the missus
personal living space
otherwise known as Unit B44
encroached, obtruded, and violated
predicated upon fruit...

POETRY DIVA’S RHYME SCHEMA
Pupa stupor you could hear the bazookas.
From Bermuda to Aruba
A super family reunion
They were sophisticated, as they contemplated which cabins were theirs.
When all came together, they became intoxicated, which caused syncopation in...

Billy was born,
On a light, breezy day,
In the splendor of Spring,
And a flowery display.

And his future was bright,
To be free of the leaf,
And the promise of flight,
Was a welcome relief.

He faintly remembered,
A life without wings,
Just...

EBONY BUTTERFLY

We all can fly
With powdered colored wings
Different you and I
But we're of the same being
BUTTERFLY
Look at me
At my mastery
See the beauty within

And surrounding, ever holding me
Is the many colored wings
Fluttering, embracing, holding me
Above this...

That seed from the sperm
Germinates from the soil of the womb in its term
Till time is up, the seed remains calm and fragile
The nurturing and maturing outburst it into stem and leaves so fragile
In innocence...

Run, run, run little animals, over sand, over rock,
everywhere, dragons fly, mantis, butterfly, ant and moth.
Beetle, grasshopper, bee and wasp,
insecta the class, to which you belong.
These are the insects, from sea to tree loft,
the most...

When the 
seaside sepulchre 
of a kingdom, 
without its queen, 
is smeared with 
screams of lighting, 
I wish to crackle
these slivers 
of silver shakle, 
and devour
that consoling 
taste of balsamic 
twilight, which 
drapes every 
ritual...

a post from 2014
for my beautiful granddaughter, Alexandra

After 13 days of confinement, 
a caterpillar broke out of her butterfly egg,
Then ate the shell and pipevine leaf, 
upon which it was laid,
A small fuzzy caterpillar, 
with...

WOMAN'S WITS

She is the man’s partner and supporter,
Maintains household’s peace and order,
          Alone or with you,...

Dreaming of leaving the Beehive


Life in the hive was a lot of fun,
For all the little bees when they were young;
But as Humble passed the Pupa stage,
He was told he had to act his age.

You have only been gone for a day or two
But I swear my love I am pining for you
I miss you so when we are apart
There is an aching deep in my heart.

Dreaming

Dreams, like caterpillars – pupa to butterfly, butterflies in flight.
Dreams, like creation – become the world we chose to inhabit.

Many times we
set our priorities
right,
but fail because of
not waiting for
Nature to take its
course

We look at the stars
for answers
which can only be
answered by
our present actions
and different reactions
through time

We look for quick
solutions to problems
with our own understanding,
yet...

Delightfully coloring a butterfly drawing
my child, secured in his custom-built wheel chair
grips, midst obvious struggle
his yellow crayon…

Wow… he’s enjoying his creativity-schedule
as he painstakingly finishes his artwork
along bugging restlessness
overcoming “butterfly-in-pupa stage” syndrome…

Soon with glee-filled countenance
devoid of...

Mulberry-leaf-munching moth pupa
spins silk to make the cocoon
for its transformation into its adult form
as a winged moth.

Pupa in the cocoon is
excited it will fly soon
Ten more days to go
It will fly and go
Joyous and happy...

Like a rafter that broke under the weight it bore
Like a pupa, wound hard in a tight bind,
Like the torn pages of a book thrown into waste,
I felt trapped and broken and my life seemed...

As the fulcrum of awareness shifts, soul don't go adrift
Affirmation: We are more than body & mind connection 
Let us leave all attachments behind and vaporize,
like space.  Mesh with the sun, recognize that we...

I live as a butterfly
Going about in my environment
Spreading happiness and infectious smiles
Where I can
And being uncaring about everything else;
The whims of the weather, 
The potency of flowers,
The raging flow of river waters,
And even the...

I await your coming for the flowers are blooming and the grass is high. The lilac branches are still bare and shivering in the laggard lion’s breath of March. They await your kiss, the Monarch...

as I am driving sideways down a slippery mine field
you sink your warped teeth into words
that sound like the cawing of dead ideas
from the aperture of a fresh 
flute hole
hitting octaves of neon and concrete
